Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is ELD? | Electronic Logging Device. A federal mandate for drivers to log their hours with a compliant device. |
| What is HOS? | Hours of Service. ELD tracks HOS for compliance. |
| What is DVIR? | Driver Vehicle Inspection Report. The driver is required to check the vehicle for defects. This can be required by the fleet even if federally exempt. |
| What are the main differences between ELD Mobile and ELD Connect? | ELD Connect is a hardwired, connected solution where you would purchase your own ELD-related hardware directly from us. ELD Mobile is a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solution where you would bring your own hardware for viewing/managing Hours-of Service (HOS). |
| What hardware supports the ELD Connect solution? | The GPSI-5000 and the ELD-2000D are devices that currently support ELD Connect, connecting and communicating with the tablet via a tethered cable. |
| What hardware supports the ELD Mobile solution? | Currently the GPSI-5000 is the only device that supports ELD Mobile. |
| How does ELD Mobile work if I am using my own hardware? | The GPSI-5000 is configured to sync with any phone/tablet working with Bluetooth (BLE), and is able to communicate via BLE to support whatever data is needed between the telematics device and your phone/tablet. |
| Should I be concerned about Bluetooth functionality? | The telematics hardware we provide today has proven to be quite reliable in terms of supporting Bluetooth connectivity. That said, generally any non-physical connection is less reliable than hardwired. If you are concerned then ELD Connect would be the best solution for you. |
